after she had got the last one down. The family now wish to disinter her body and to open it for the recovery of the diamonds; but her own people, not crediting the nurse's story, refuse to allow what they consider a desecration of the dead.
ALTHOUGH theic are as many as 6,000 attorneys actively practising in this city, each of whom is probably doing as well as, if not better than, he would in any other calling, the Circuit Court cal endar, which is typical of others, shows that not more than т,800 of them can be classified as liti gating lawyers. This number, it is safe to say, includes every member of the bar into whose office has come, during the last twenty-five years, business which resulted in a common-law action brought in the Supreme Court. The other 4,000 have worried along on their incomes as chamber counsellors, advising as to contracts or invest ments, passing titles, or caring for trust properties. The number of cases on the Circuit Court cal endar — 3,200 — actually represents approximately the number of joinders of issue in two years, the monthly average being 150, or one case a year for each litigating lawyer on the list. Thus the pro fessional income, even for this class of attorneys, growing out of litigation may be put at a low figure, even though the lighter calendars of three other courts be included. — Л7. Y.
